As Brazil has no athletic commission to oversee fighter drug
testing and medical suspensions, the UFC acted as its own
regulatory body. Sherdog.com confirmed the suspensions on Thursday
with Marc Ratner, UFC vice president of regulatory affairs.

The pay-per-view event was headlined by a light heavyweight
confrontation between longtime middleweight king Anderson
Silva and “Ultimate Fighter” Season 1 runner-up Stephan
Bonnar. “The Spider” used a well-placed knee to the body to
earn a first-round technical knockout over Bonnar, who was
suspended for 45 days in defeat.
